Gutter journalism.

I'm sure many other airlines are like this.

[Vikjet]

I hate Ryanair more than anything in the world!

[Visionary]

Well I would never fly Ryannair, a flight is meant to be enjoyable!

But somehow I don't think the majority of people who fly with Ryannair care about the quality of service more than the price

[George Bush]

Didn't one of their planes land in a field or something?

Did you not watch the video?

[767-300ER]

If i'm right the BBC broadcasted the documentary a year or so ago. It opned my eyes very much when it came to Ryanair.

Yeah.... it's not like they were terribly bad points.

I mean, I'm sure it's sanitary to not clean up sick.
I'm sure it's completely safe to allow people to fly months on end with only a temp ID.
And we all know it's incredibly safe to not check passports.

Sure they only showed the bad points, but it's not like the bad points were all THAT bad!

These are bad points that not a single airline should have. I'd only buy your argument if the video showed things such as bad customer service, or the landing wasn't soft enough. Or other things like that that don't violate safety.... when it gets as bad as that, "they only showed the bad points" is not a valid argument.

Look at you guys, "Oh, i'll never fly Ryanair" or "Ryanair should be shut down".

You get what you pay for and the airline is trying to make a profit and these are the only ways it can.

If everybody hated Ryanair so much, why was the passenger numbers for 2005 at 35 million? Sure some of those passengers may not have enjoyed the flight but many wouldnt be bothered and would just be happy that they had a little extra money in their pockets.

Then there are parts shown about safety, I think Ryanair has a pretty good safety record if you ask me, just one major incident with an engine fire, the plane was evacuated within 90 seconds.

So just think again please before slagging an airline off.

So am I, I flew Ryanair 2 times, and i do it because it's cheap, not because of the luxe you get lol. I'm just glad when i get there not the fuss around it, don't need the food in the plane, i take my own food and drinks with me. And didn't notice a thing of what they show in the video , but a can believe it happens, but with almost every airliner you got that i guess

I'm doubt that's true. Even if it was they said it was only on the -200.

[767-300ER]

Actually, there was one time when i light was flashing intheir eyes which was stating that there was something wrong with the deplyment of the emergency slide. Anything that compremisies safety is serious. IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN THE FIRST PLACE.  

[Andrewsarchus]

Excuse me, if Ryanair can't even perform security checks fully, or even properly, then they shouldn't be an airline.
And if it's just that show making it up or exaggerating it, then I'm sorry. I take it back.

wow... that is just wrong!

[Element94]

Wow.....

Management should take a book from SWA. Normally, I don't like SWA, but, they run a ###### of a good airline, by any standards, and can still keep costs low...

I don't think you can put a price on safety. It is fair enough they haven't had a major accident yet, but even in the fire they were still criticized:

Quote

the air crew struggled to open the emergency doors, and some passengers were initially evacuated towards the fire. The UK Air Accident Investigation Board recommended changes to training procedures for air-crew to allow better handling of similar situations in future.

I would hate to be under instruction of their crew in an even more serious emergency .

I personally think, though, that this is one of several airlines in the world that have similar issues.
